Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The field of neuroprognostication following cardiac arrest has seen remarkable advancements in recent years. Accurate prediction of neurological outcomes is essential for guiding treatment decisions, facilitating communication with families, and ensuring appropriate resource allocation in the intensive care setting. Recent developments have improved the reliability of prognostic tools, combining clinical examination findings, electrophysiological assessments, neuroimaging techniques, and biomarker evaluation.
In particular, the integration of EEG monitoring, somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEPs), and advanced imaging modalities such as MRI have enhanced early prognostication accuracy. Moreover, the identification of specific biomarkers associated with brain injury has provided additional insights into predicting recovery potential. The refinement of multimodal approaches has also contributed to minimizing the risk of premature withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment in patients with potential for meaningful recovery.
This Special Issue invites authors to submit original research articles and reviews focusing on recent advances in neuroprognostication after cardiac arrest. We particularly welcome contributions that explore novel prognostic markers, innovative imaging protocols, and strategies for integrating these tools into clinical practice.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Journal of Clinical Medicine is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
